To whom it may concern, As President Jana Fremont requested as the goal of my internship, I have evaluated the current inventory situation at Three Jays Corporation. In order to do so, I had to make a series of analyses that I will proceed to present, which will, in turn, lead to a set of recommendations taking into account the current situation and the objectives of the company.

Components of the EOQ formula I begin my analysis by taking a closer look to the production process. We know that all raw ingredients are assembled and mixed in a 50-gallon kettle, which corresponds to 7447 dry ounces. By dividing this by the size of the jars available for purchase, it is fairly intuitive that there is a potential for producing a maximum of 620 12-oz jars, 930 8-oz jars, 1861 4-oz jars and 3723 2-oz jars. This is the maximum batch size that could potentially be produced by the process, unless both kettles were used at once, which I, for the purposes of this analysis, assume does not occur. I will also assume that the 50-gallons are fully used. The 12-oz jars take 12,4 minutes to complete the filling activity, obtained by dividing 620 jars by 50, the number of jars the machine can fill in a minute. The flow time for one batch of 12-oz jars is, therefore, 87,4 minutes, assuming that the amount of time the batch spends in the holding tank, the capping activity, the labeling and coding, and the packing and palletizing is negligible. This assumption is justified by the fact that there is no mention of the flow rate of these activities in the informations that I was given at the beginning of my internship. Performing the same type of analysis for the other jar sizes, an 8-oz batch takes 93,6 minutes to be produced, a 4-oz batch takes 99,8 and a 2-oz batch is only finished after 124,64 minutes. Because all SKUS scheduled to be produced in the last

Case - Statement of Cash Flow: Three Examples
Exhibit #1 Alpha Corp:
In this example we have a case in which years 89, 90 and 91 net income is less than net cash provided by operating activities. One of the major reasons for this appears to have been depreciating high cost of equipment. The depreciation is trending downward over the three-year period indicating less long-term assets are being purchased/capitalized to run operations.

No, obliviously Jay Gatsby did not commit suicide, at least not in the literal or physical sense. Many characters in the novel The Great Gatsby, written by F. Scott Fitzgerald, played roles in the death of Gatsby, but none greater than the role played by Gatsby himself. Gatsby lived a life based entirely upon two things: achieving the American Dream and Daisy Buchanan. It is understandable for a young man such as Gatsby to attempt to search and work towards gaining the American Dream. However, the…
